Matt's parents came to visit us this weekend which gave us a great excuse to go to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. We'd never gone before but it was such a beautiful place we ended up buying a membership & look forward to seeing it during all four seasons (plus they offer cooking from the garden dinners!). We were lucky & our grey skies cleared for our walk around the gardens & forests.Having house guests also meant for lots of yummy dinners coming out of the kitchen. Friday night, Matt roasted a couple of pork loins. He used the dried Michigan sour cherries that his parents had brought us to create an amazing sauce to top the pork.The sauce really made the pork into something special. It would be perfect with other cuts of pork like chops & I think fabulous with duck as well.
